Current Notes: My calendars are here already ! Glad I caught 'em on sale.
We had homeschool game day
this week – we may not have another ‘til next year, with all the holidays on
the way. We played a fun new game, Spot It !,
that I really enjoyed. Basically, the cards have just one image in common
between any two cards. You can play it any number of ways, including solitaire.
I wonder how they can do that, keep it at just one image per card sets. I was
just glad to see the icons weren’t product logos. There actually is a game like
that, it uses real everyday trademarked logos – the first time I saw the ad, I
thought it was a parody, a joke. Nope. It exists. Logo
Party.
Dearest Son was a little
more outgoing, but even that was like dragging a donkey. But we played a
destructive version of chess together, a few rounds of giant Connect Four, featuring the world’s
largest crash when it’s reset (none of the wood parts are cushioned with felt
or anything), and fetched home a small pyramid of books.
(sigh) That’s been about it
for the day. I’m still trying to figure out how to arrange my desk so that I
don’t have to move out of the way for everyone to get to the bathroom. I’m
shoved over as far as I can go – and I can pass even with my chair all the way
out – but I still get nudged about 80% of the time. Each way. Between the
interrupts and the bumps, I’m rapidly getting mean. One bathroom for 5 people
is a recipe for eventual disaster.
